As a guildmaster, I tried always to recruit people who fit with the rest of the group. That usually meant people in their late 20s to mid-30s who had careers and possibly kids. Folks in those stages of life are *generally* more understanding that WoW is a hobby for their guildmates, not a lifestyle. We've paused raids so that people could change diapers, and I've politely asked folks to leave if they were starting to take things too seriously or became obviously dissatisfied.

We'll never be a hardcore progression guild, but I think our members are happier with their WoW experience than a lot of folks in T6.
Now thats the kinda Guild I would LOVE to be in.

As for horror stories about Guild Life?

I was with a guild for only about 2 months, spent a LOT of time helping newbies with quests and such everyday.... anyhow a newbie gets recruited with the name "Pedofile". Naturally I complained, result was that I got booted within 2minutes of my complaint. I sent in a ticket to Blizz about the name and he was forced to have it changed. I received endless tells from the GM and Officers that I was such an asshole for doing what I did, eventually having to start over on another server.

My guess is that the character was an Alt of someone in the guild more important than me. I just don't understand peoples thinking, not just one person defending the character name but a dozen high ranking people in the guild. Blows my mind.
